MES-Definitionen

The correct recording of reasons for malfunction is the prerequisite for a Pareto error analysis and the evaluation of sources of malfunction and events. With predefined lists for each machine, the down reasons of a system can be justified, standardised and archived. In the event of machine downtime, modern MES solutions inevitably require down codes to be entered in order to receive the most complete data possible.

Via a suitable interface (e.g. in the form of binary codes), fault messages can be taken over directly from the machine control where appropriate. In this case, no additional entry by the machine operator is required.
